Wade Phillips Needs To Be Fired

Wade Phillips needs to be fired. It’s that simple.

The Dallas Cowboys are a very talented bunch. Offensively, they are oozing with talent at just about every position. Defensively, they are almost equally as talented.

That said, the 2008 Cowboys failed to reach the playoffs. And they did so in disgusting fashion. Facing a must win game in Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Cowboys laid a giant egg. Instead of fighting, they fell 44-6 against the Eagles.

Rumors have it that the many of the players were laughing and carrying on during the plane ride home. Add that to the on the field turmoil and lack of chemistry that is obvious if you watch the Cowboys play and someone has to take the fall. And that man is head coach Wade Phillips.

Phillips isn’t a bad coach, mind you, but these Cowboys need a shakeup. They need a coach who will come in and demand respect. Not only respect for the coach but respect for the game and respect for teammates. This is especially true if the Cowboys insist on keeping up the policy of bringing in shady characters whenever the opportunity arises.

Phillips is not the answer. Jason Garrett is not the answer.

Who could be the answer? Bill Cowher would demand respect. So would *gasp* Bill Parcells.
